Postgraduate qualifications in public health are designed for students to build expertise in one or more areas of public and population health when they have completed study in a similar area, like nursing or another health profession, or sometimes in an unrelated area. Students can extend their knowledge and skills in health promotion, public health policy, biostatistics and epidemiology, research, health economics, disease prevention and health management.

Post-graduate university qualifications in public health support a range of flexible career pathways. Often, you may be able to continue study into a Masters of Public Health from a graduate certificate. Many universities have online programs that allow you to study from your own home.
